The Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, Lord Stanley's gift to the game, first awarded in 1893.

The limited-time Stanley Cup 125th Anniversary Tribute was unveiled on March 9, 2018.

Stanley Cup 125th Anniversary Tribute Now Open

On March 18, 1892, Lord Stanley of Preston delivered a statement in which he committed to donate a trophy that would be competed for by Canadian hockey teams. Little did he realize just how powerful and magical his gift to hockey would prove to be, and the impact that the iconic silver trophy would have on so many lives for years to come.

This year represents the anniversary of two historic dates. One hundred and twenty-five years ago, on May 15, 1893, Montreal AAA club claimed the first Stanley Cup championship by virtue of finishing atop of the AHA standings. Twenty-five years later, the Toronto Arenas became the first NHL Stanley Cup champion when they defeated the Vancouver Millionaires 2-1 in the deciding fifth game of the final on March 30, 1918.

The Hockey Hall of Fame, home to both the original and current versions of the Stanley Cup, expanded its tribute to these chalices during this anniversary year with the unveiling of featured showcases on Friday, March 9th, 2018. The Stanley Cup 125th Anniversary Tribute artifacts include: Stanley Cup pucks dating back to 1901; rings, watches, and miniature Cups awarded to Stanley Cup champions; turn-of-the-19th century commemoratives and periodicals on Lord Stanley; pre-NHL Stanley Cup ribbons and memorabilia; as well as the tools used to craft and engrave the trophy.

Mitch Marner, Christian Dvorak and MatthewTkachuk led the London Knights to the Memorial Cuptitle in 2016.

For 100 years the Memorial Cup has honoured thesacrifices made by Canadians during wartime.

Memorial CupCentennial Exhibition

Opening on March 9, 2018, the limited-time Memorial Cup Centennial Exhibition pays homage to the top moments and players in Memorial Cup history. Highlighted in this showcase is the Original Memorial Cup (circa 1918), and featured artifacts include championship rings from Doug Gilmour (1981) and Cam Neely (1983), as well as Eric Lindros's jersey from the 1991 Oshawa Generals. Also featured in the showcase are artifacts from Hall of Famers Pat Quinn, Scott Niedermayer and Pat LaFontaine, as well as current NHL stars Taylor Hall and Corey Perry. The Centennial Exhibition also shines a light on some of the most memorable Memorial Cup championship teams, including the Kamloops Blazers dynasty of the early 1990s and the 2005 London Knights team which is widely regarded as one of the greatest junior hockey teams in history.

Since its inception 100 years ago, the Memorial Cup has served as the pinnacle of Canadian Major Junior hockey, as well as a reminder of the sacrifices made by Canadians during wartime. The trophy was the brainchild of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association president, Captain James T. Sutherland, who dedicated it to all hockey players that gave their lives during the First World War. Following the war, the Ontario Hockey Association donated the Memorial Cup to be competed for annually to determine Canada's top junior hockey team.

Re-dedicated in 2010 to also honour all fallen Canadian military personnel since World War I, the Memorial Cup is exactly that, a trophy that memorializes those who died in military service for Canada.
